A member asked:
Is it possible to reduce the amount of colon polyps a person produces with a healthy diet, excersize, weight loss, not smoking, limiting alcohol, etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unless you're dealing with certain genetic causes, I fully agree that the lifestyle changes you describe would help reduce colon polyp formation. That healthy diet also means avoiding burnt meats, processed meats,etc.
